This carefully curated Cactus Mix brings together three fascinating and characterful species: Euphorbia susannaea, Gymnocalycium horstii, and Mammillaria elongata, each with its own unique shape, texture, and growing habit. Together they create a beautifully balanced and visually interesting collection, perfect for both collectors and newcomers to the world of cacti and succulents.
Euphorbia susannaea is a rare and compact species with a sculptural form of tightly packed tubercles and short spines, often taking on a mound-like appearance. Its surface is a deep green, sometimes with a silvery bloom, giving it a distinct and ornamental texture. Gymnocalycium horstii contrasts beautifully with its smooth, glossy, rounded body and broad ribs, often tinged with deep green or purple hues under strong light. In the right conditions, it produces large, pale pink flowers that add a stunning touch of softness to its bold shape. Completing the trio, Mammillaria elongata adds height and texture with its clustering, cylindrical stems densely covered in golden or coppery spines that create a warm, glowing effect.
This mix thrives in bright, sunny conditions and prefers a free-draining cactus compost. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings, and avoid excess moisture, particularly in winter when the plants rest. A light feed during the growing season will encourage healthy development and, in time, flowering.
Perfect for garden centres and houseplant shops, this Cactus Mix offers customers a striking and easy-care combination of three distinctive species. Its diversity in shape, texture, and colour makes it an ideal gift, display piece, or starter set for anyone looking to add a touch of desert charm to their home or greenhouse.
